    摘要: A prestage for generating a control signal for an output driver of an integrated circuit, wherein the integrated circuit can be provided with a reference potential and a supply potential fixed in relation to the reference potential, comprises an input for receiving an input signal from the integrated circuit, a circuitry for generating an output signal based on the received input signal, an output for outputting the generated output signals as control signal for an output driver as well as a current source, which is effectively connected to the circuitry. Thereby, the circuitry for generating an output signal and the current source are connected in series and connected to a first potential and a second potential such that a prestage potential difference across the series circuit is higher than a supply potential difference between the supply potential and the reference potential. Such a prestage has the advantage that it is less sensitive against variations on the reference potential or the reference potential, respectively, than conventional circuitries and can generate an output signal with well defined rise times.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory, there is capacitive coupling between bit lines that largely run in parallel. Outer sections of the bit lines are connected via respective switches to a sense amplifier arranged between the switches. When a memory cell is being read, the capacitive interference by other bit lines that are not coupled to the memory cell being read is kept as low as possible before the start of amplification by the sense amplifier by turning on the switches in that bit line. During the amplification phase, the remote outer section of that bit line is disconnected using the appropriate switch. In one embodiment, the capacitance of the bit line that is not connected to the memory cell to be read is increased further by additionally activating a precharging circuit.
